I laughed out loud when I saw that I was inside of two different fish 🐟 This is a great concept! Puzzle design is hard, and the absence of sound effects does make it feel less alive, but the flashlight concept was used very well. Great job!

Heartbeat HopperI enjoyed the game. The art was great and the concept was fun. I do think that it was a bit complex although I did manage to finish it in the end, some of the stuff didn't quite make sense but overall a solid entry! Good job :D

Succumb To The DarknessA strong entry! I really like that kind of game and still struggled a bit but finally escaped :)
Congrats

Abyssal Leap - Trijam #255Thanks a lot! The background track was literally a last minute addition (and I mean literally literally). Wish we had had a little more time to add more sound effects.
The matches are a bit of a stretch, I admit. The story is meant a little differently, though: You are actually a person stuck inside an anglerfish stuck inside a whale. When you use the knife, you cut yourself out of the anglerfish. And apparently you had some matches with you that you can now use.
(We did want it to be a little absurd :D)
If you want to check out more point and click games, this one was heavily inspired by the Rusty Lake series, which also has a cartoonish style and macarbre humor. Definitely worth checking out if you dig this kind of game!
Really tried to beat this one but I couldn't find out the code to the safe. Regardless the atmosphere was really cool and the art style was super appealing! Well done! The take on the theme was also very unique.

Mort's RealityI think I would like a hint. I picked up the potato(?), cable, and dynamite. I put the cable and potato together but not sure what I am supposed to do. I don't know if I have to guess the combination or what.
